Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 4.5 tablespoons unsalted butter for the dough and brushing
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic for the dough and garlic butter
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour plus 1 tablespoon extra as needed
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for the dough and finishing
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup whole or 2% milk warmed to 110°F
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 beaten egg for brushing the tops
Instructions
Preparation
- Lightly butter the bottom and sides of a 9×13 inch baking pan and set it aside.
- In a small pot, melt 4 1/2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and stir in 2 tablespoons of minced garlic. Cook over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat and let it cool.
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine 3 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast, and 1 teaspoon fine sea salt.
- Add warmed milk, 1 large egg, and the cooled garlic butter mixture. Knead the dough with a dough hook on low speed for 10 to 12 minutes until smooth and soft.
- If the dough is too sticky, gradually add flour one tablespoon at a time until manageable.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a smooth ball.
- Place the dough balls into the prepared baking pan, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 2 hours.
Baking
- When the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Brush the tops of the risen rolls with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 20 to 30 minutes until golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
- While the rolls are baking, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, then stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley.
- Immediately brush the baked rolls with the garlic butter mixture and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Serving
- Serve warm, preferably fresh out of the oven.
